Graphic Design Research Project

newtg85 — 2023-12-18 19:54:28 UTC

What I have learned about Graphic Design Is It seems easier than It actually is. Yes, Graphic Design Is different than I thought It would be because for one Photoshop Takes time to get good at and know your way around. My experience with recreating Pauls design was Pretty simple, but difficult for me to match the color correctly. I did end up liking Paul Rand's work, because It was unique and different from many others work.

Pattern Making Project

My thoughts on this project were It was a little difficult at first. As we went along i learned to duplicate and warp my letters better. the second image i made moved quicker, and I had a better time doing It. Overall I liked this project because It helped me learn more things about photoshop, and the more things I learned the easier It was.

Donut Design

I liked this project because I got to use my imagination and creativity in a different way than usual. This assignment got easier and easier for every time I did it, because It helped me remember how to navigate around photoshop. The more I did the donuts the more comfortable I was with making them because i knew where to go when I needed something. Overall I learned a lot with this project and had fun designing donuts.

Logo Parody

I found this project to be somewhat difficult compared to the past few projects, but in the end I enjoyed it because it helped me show some humor within these creations. My favorite parody was probably the Nike “Just Don’t” because i thought It was funny and clever. This definitely wasn't my favorite project due to the amount of creativity it took me but I still liked it overall and had a good time making these.

Logos-Initials

The Picture I chose was the “Sporty” One, I liked this Logo because I like how sleek and I liked the colors a lot. This logo is supposed to give a sport/hyper vibe, and I feel like I chose It because I think I accomplished the look pretty well.

Study Of Fliers

This Is my favorite flier out of the 2. I like this flier because it shows vibrant colors and I like it because the color Is very eye catching which makes me feel like It would be a good flier to have In the halls of KHS.

I learned a lot during this project like how to make double exposure In photoshop. My favorite effect was probably the glow effect because It made a cool photo for me, I also probably found this effect to be the easiest. Double exposure was probably the harder skill for me with this project. Overall I liked this project and would like more DIY projects in the future

This project went pretty good for me. Id say my strengths with this project were making the letters the accurate size and color. My weaknesses were probably the accurate color of the real movie covers, If i were to re do the projects I would try to make the colors more accurate to the real covers.

This project went pretty well for me, I learned how to color match well, my last project was probably my favorite because the face was small and easy to match. Overall I enjoyed this project, and would like to have something like it again

This week I learned all 3 skills above, My favorite Edit was probably the wavy one because I haven't done anything like that In this class. To me the glitch was probably the easiest edit, and the Compositing was probably the hardest. I wouldn't mind more DIY weeks In the future.

Reflection

This class was pretty fun. What I liked most was that throughout the semester I progressively learned and Understood Photoshop. My favorite project was probably the Donut Design one, because I was able to create flavors and just be creative. I also really liked getting coffee and learning more about food trucks. Overall I liked this class, and would recommend others to take it.
